Guitar all textured!!


I got the wood texture off the internet, learned how to photoshop it and bring it back to Maya, fitting the texture together, fixing everything so when it is smooth it looks right, put texture, color, UV, and stuff to EVERYTHING, learned to use creativecrash.com to get the gold for the head (learned how to get that into Maya too) and yep!  Now I think I just have to light it and I'll be done!! Woot!  Thanks for the help!!


I am working on copying the lights everywhere to see what they do. I am hoping that I don't have to make any lighting adjustments but we will see. I think the materials are close. The metal is still killing me. I have tried a few tutorials but it still kind of looks like plastic.

Well, I finally got some better materials applied and also my bump map. It is so fun to see it start looking real, and to see some renders.















I have been working on making the filament light up. I am trying to get a general light that I can also place to make the light glow correctly. My materials are placed but are not rendering yet, I think because the light is not really on them. I have a clear glass on the bulb which is showing a small reflection but is not really showing up yet.
